Sorry about me mentioning that option, but I was asking the folks here if I should do that because I want to SAVE my fish from this monster, and I'd really like to keep HIM as well, instead of returning him to the Petco where I bought him for 3 lousy bucks.
The way gas prices are these days, I'd be better off to let him go free in a nearby watery ditch than to take him back. Besides, he's actually kinda COOL in a strange way. He's NOT.... a fish. But he's IN... the tank.
Kinda like having a frog-- something different to look at.
Well, I just heard from Malkore that he will freeze an entire thread if I mentioned cutting off the pincers on my crayfish. Uh, Malkore, dontcha think that is kind of OVER REACTING a little?
You are apparently an 'advisor' here-- a moderator?
Apparently, several other people were rather unimpressed with the option (of cutting off one of his pincers on each side) as well.
Well, what about THIS option? I can pull him out of there, and set him in the sink for a second. I'll take some garbage bag ties out, strip off the paper part so I've got a tiny wire, and I'm gonna wrap the WIRE around his pincers so he can't open them.
That's what they do with lobsters in a restaurant-- so they don't KILL each other. Apparently, lobsters can be cannibalistic in close confinement.
He's gonna KILL my catfish, ya'll.
The guy at the store said he'll kill my tetras.
I'd be willing to bet I will wake up one morning very soon and there'll be part of a catfish resting on the bottom of the aquarium. Ten years ago, I had a 29 high and I had several fish in there. I bought a cray(fish) and he ate one of them the very first week. I got the feeling he'd eat every dang one of them if he could! I'd find like half a fish resting on the aquarium floor, and he'd be eating the other half.
So I already have evidence that a crayfish is a SERIAL KILLER in an aquarium!
But this is the BIGGEST dead gum crayfish I have ever owned. He was the biggest one in the tank at Petco, and I knew I HAD to have him as soon as I saw him. The one I had ten years ago climbed outta the tank one day and I just knew he was dead in the house somewhere. I found him about a month later by a closet door-- or rather the carcass of him. He HAD INDEED climbed out of the tank and had fallen down to the carpet below. I guess he wandered around and croaked before I got back home.
I don't know what to do with this guy.
I think...
that
he thinks...
that he's the baddest thing in his new world, and he's gonna kill my fish.
I don't know whether to leave the small light on in this room (which will give the tank SOME small amount of illumination) when I go to sleep, or whether to just do what I always do and leave them all in the dark all night. I think he'll KILL atleast one of my fish tonight if I do the latter.
So what about the wires to hold his pincers closed?
He'll be able to get around easy enough, and I'm gonna feed him. He'll get something cool to munch on.
